How does this damage the portability of *Terry Lambert*'s code?

They get installed wherever on any system.  You'll find them in
/usr/lib on Debian.  You'll find them in /opt/lib on some System Vish
systems.  You'll find them in /usr/local/ssl/lib on systems that take
the OpenSSL defaults.  You'll find them in /usr/local/lib if put there
by FreeBSD ports or by system administrators who like them there.
You'll find them in /usr/pkg/lib, /home/luser/openssl/lib,
/afs/some-university/OpenSourcePackages/cryptography/OPENSSL/0.9.6e/lib,
or wherever the damn administrator wants them.

If you have a point, make it.  Otherwise let's drop this thread.  I'll
help by not responding to any further content-free messages (and not
generating any more).

Cheers,
